ahidalgar

make someone look like a member of the nobility.

Usage

A rare, literary verb derived from hidalgo (a member of the lower nobility) — to make someone act or appear noble, whether ennobling them in fact or merely giving them noble airs. Essentially obsolete outside historical or literary Spanish, a word learners mostly meet in Golden Age-era texts rather than modern speech.

Examples
  • El título lo ahidalgó ante los ojos del pueblo.The title gave him a noble air in the eyes of the townspeople.
  • Vestía con tal porte que parecía ahidalgado.He dressed with such bearing that he seemed to carry himself like nobility.
  • La fortuna repentina lo ahidalgó, al menos en apariencia.The sudden fortune gave him the trappings of nobility, at least in appearance.
Common mistake

This verb is archaic enough that there's no real modern mistake to flag — a learner is unlikely to ever need it outside reading classical Spanish literature.
